Rebellion and Idolatry Revealed (3 of 23)

Romans 1:24-32
Today we are diving into a text that shows us the working out of God's wrath and our sin. Due to our sinfulness, specifically our idolatry of rejecting and replacing God in our hearts... man has been given over to a host of sins and God's judgment is revealed in our present day.
Today is really about how sinful man really is apart from God's grace. - Not some people, all people. Not a certain kind of sinner, but all of us are sinners. - We are going to see the Apostle Paul name some very specific sins that manifest themselves among fallen humanity. -

Even though God has made Himself known through creation in some ways... we have rejected and replaced God in our hearts.
The core sin... is idolatry... the rejection of the true God as God and the giving over of our hearts to other gods, namely OURSEVLES. - This leads to God's judgment, it leads to us spinning off into other sin... and the only cure is the GOSPEL.

26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave u ...
